Info for One Endless Night

The debut album from jazz singer Anna Margolina is a personal remembrance of her immigration story from Minsk to Berlin. After 30 years since her arrival, the album shares Anna`s experience of abandonment and loneliness, the search for new identity and a sense of belonging, the conflict with the demons of her past and the redeeming kindness of strangers along the way. The transformative episodes of her life are to be heard in these 8 moving and melody-driven pieces, composed and arranged by fellow world wanderer Conor Cantrell and beautifully framed by the musical talents of Kenneth Berkel (piano), Lisa Buchholz (flugelhorn), Hendrik Nehls (bass) and David Guy (drums). More than ever, there is need for a hopeful story of arrival. “One Endless Night” is supported by Initiative Musik and released in June 2023 at XJAZZ!Music.

"Anna Margolina interprets these songs with incredible suggestiveness. Her excellent voice, warm, ethereal timbre, pulse, passion and phenomenal sense of rhythm make this a great listen. The accompanying musicians bring in jazzy freedom, improvisational elements and a contemporary sound aura. Everything fits together here. The result is beautiful, touching music between genres and cultures. A wonderful album, we are thrilled!" (jazz-fun.de)

Anna Margolina
was born in Minsk, into a family of musicians and artists. She has lived in Berlin since 1992 and founded her own ensemble here, with which she now plays at festivals and in renowned jazz clubs. Anna tours Germany's stages as a soloist with the "Andrej Hermlin Swing Dance Orchestra", performing well-known hits from the 1930s, and also stands at the microphone alongside Tom Gaebel. Today she performs her own programme "Sing me a swing song and let me dance" in cooperation with local dance schools. The singer is also at home in contemporary sounds - during the pandemic she developed an unusual online jazz format (Old Fashioned Sleepless Nights) with pianist Kenneth Berkel, which the duo regularly streams on YouTube. They dedicate the 7th season to Kenneth's compositions and are finally able to invite guest musicians. At the same time, Anna becomes part of the ensemble "Kaminer & Die Antikörper", releases a joint album (label: Trikont) and tours 15 cities with her "Jazz & Yiddish" programme.

In June 2023, she and her band release their debut album "One Endless Night" on the XJAZZ!Music label, which tells the story of their emigration.

This album contains no booklet.
